Verbatim Announces Store ‘n’ Go Netbook USB Flash Drive

Netbooks are common; Netbooks are trendy. By their very nature, Netbooks need to be small and lightweight, which means that many of them come with limited SSD storage.  Verbatim’s new Store ‘n’ Go Netbook USB Drive solves this weakness by providing up to 32GB storage capacity in a device smaller than a Euro coin that can be simply plugged into a Netbook and left there on a near permanent basis.  The Verbatim Netbook USB Drive is available in stores now.

Verbatim´s new Netbook USB Drive allows users to increase the storage of their Netbook without having to open it to upgrade the built-in storage, or even extend its footprint.  Due to its minute size – only 17.15mm long x 14.85mm wide x 7.7mm deep - when inserted into the USB interface, only 5mm is left protruding, meaning that it can be kept in the Netbook on a semi-permanent basis and used as a long-term storage extension.  And, needless to say, Verbatim Netbook USB doesn’t only work with Netbooks, but can be used in any other computer or gadget with a USB port - anything from car radios and digital picture frames to desktop PCs.
